Gastronomy and Cultural Experiences
At TokudAw, we have noticed that most of our guests are foodies.
We can make recommendations for the popular Michelin-starred restaurants, up and coming new restaurants, haunts frequented by the locals and of course our favorites selected by us.
Additionally, we have curated gastronomy and cultural experiences led by TokudAw's Managing Director, Wanping Aw.
With a Ph.D. in Biomedical Science and current roles as a nutritional scientist and educator at Keio University, Wanping ensures an enriching and knowledgeable journey.
We created these experiences with the intention of allowing our guests to learn more about the health benefits of traditional Japanese cuisine, and also have a fun environment to interact with the local Japanese all whilst having fun!
We cater to any kind of requests, so if the guests have a specific interest in mind, feel free to let us know and we can provide suggestions.

“We not only loved the convenience of point to point transportation in luxurious comfort (no need to lug around and struggle with our suitcases!) but also having experts on hand to bring us to the best places, from food (ultimate yums + off the tourist path to where locals went) to activities like picking grapes (what an experience for city folks like us!) and fabulous lookout points where we got some AMAZING photos”
